On September 5, 2024 the Abandon Harris '24 campaign was launched in North Carolina. Speakers at the campaign's press conference explained why they will not vote for VP Kamala Harris in the November elections. North Carolina Imam Abdallh said that Harris dehumanizes the Palestinians, "just like her boss Biden." Environmental activist Rania Masri said that Harris is a "white supremacist in black face." She added: "We dare to build an alternative to their [Democrat and Republican parties'] criminal policies. […] It begins with making sure that Kamala Harris loses the election in November."
The press conference was streamed live on the Facebook page of the North Carolina Green Party.
It is worth noting that Abdallh Khadra is the is president of the Madina Quran and Youth Center in Raleigh, NC, and the event was streamed live on his personal YouTube channel. In 2017, Khadra said in a Friday sermon that Jews distorted the facts about the Western Wall and invoked the hadith about the Muslims killing the Jews at the end of times. In another Friday sermon from the same year, he said that the Zionists seek to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build their "fictitious" temple instead.
Rania Masri, the "co-director at the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network," previously supported the Palestinian armed struggle at a May 23, 2023 rally in Raleigh.
Abdallh Khadra: "We abandon Harris because she doesn't care about human lives."
[...]
"She has dehumanized – just like her boss Biden, they have dehumanized the Palestinians. They never care whether the Zionists desecrate our holy mosque in Jerusalem.
[...]
"She wants us to be silent, why? Because if we don't vote for her, a worse person will come. Well, there is no worse than supporting a genocide."
[...]
Rania Masri: "I have never been gladder that I get to vote in the state of North Carolina, that I get, today, to vote in the swing state of North Carolina.
[...]
"The Democrats are treating us as if we were their battered wife, and we should say 'no,' we will not succumb to their threats.
[...]
"I will judge this woman, this person of color, by the content of her character and the content of her character shows me that she is a white supremacist in black face.
[...]
"It will be the worst case scenarios if Kamala Harris wins. More wars will come, but they will come with liberal applause, and joy, and glee.
[...]
"We do dare to take off the chains of the fascist purple parties. We do dare to reject them both. We do dare to build an alternative to their criminal policies.
[...]
"It begins with making sure Kamala Harris loses the election in November."
